Field notes
The app communicates with a diesel heater over the user's own network and checks the heater directly at startup, when the app returns to the foreground, and during operation. Its monitoring goes beyond temperature: the listed readings include fuel use, glow-plug and fan behavior, supply voltage, and generated fault codes. The company says accounts use Apple or Google sign-in, while the app stores no operating history and includes no advertising or tracking.
